Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) tried to trash U.S. Army veteran <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pete-hegseth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pete Hegseth</a> — President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s choice for incoming Defense Secretary — but instead she got a quick lesson on who he really is.
Warren took to X to voice her grievances with Hegseth — who, in addition to his military service, has spent a fair amount of time as a host on Fox News — and she suggested in her post that his tenure at the network was the only reason Trump could have for choosing him.
&#8220;A Fox &amp; Friends weekend co-host is not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense,&#8221; she posted. &#8220;I lead the Senate military personnel panel. All three of my brothers served in uniform. I respect every one of our servicemembers. Donald Trump’s pick will make us less safe and must be rejected.&#8221;

But as critics pointed out, Hegseth had also put on the uniform — and had served multiple combat tours — and had earned an Ivy League education to boot.
&#8220;You left out some of his resume: 20 years of military service. 2 bronze stars. Degrees from Princeton and Harvard. Active with veterans organizations since leaving active duty. You can go ahead and sit this one out, Senator,&#8221; Evan Berryhill posted.

The Federalist&#8217;s Sean Davis had a similar thought: &#8220;Pete Hegseth is a 20-year military veteran, a decorated combat veteran, a recipient of the Bronze Star (2x), and graduated from both Harvard and Princeton.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cnn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a> Republican commentator Scott Jennings roasted late-night comedians for their obvious descent — fueled by President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s landslide victory on Tuesday — into naked Democratic activism, arguing that &#8220;at some point, people might expect it to be funny.&#8221;
Jennings ripped into the comedians — name-dropping Jimmy Kimmel, who was brought to tears after Trump won — and argued that they were alienating half the country by telling them that only the Trump-hating people in their audience really mattered.

Jennings noted that liberal comedian and HBO host Bill Maher — who has repeatedly swiped at his own side for going too far with regard to gender surgeries, COVID lockdowns, and more — seemed to understand that going all-in on activism instead of comedy — and in the process, potentially alienating half the country &#8212; was not the wisest course of action.
&#8220;The rest of these people have become pathetic. I mean, they stopped being comedians and they started becoming political activists. I mean, Jimmy Kimmel out here crying? I mean, it’s pathetic,&#8221; Jennings said. &#8220;And so my my question is, if you’re going to have a late-night comedy show, at some point, people might expect it to be funny and not just a constant political screed against one party, and I don’t — I don’t know that this activism for four more years is sustainable if you’re going to market something as comedy, but the actual product is nothing more than sort of a lowbrow political activism.&#8221;

&#8220;These people represent the way a lot of people feel, so it’d actually be interesting if the Trump folks could actually make us feel like, ‘we’re not going to take away your rights,’ and that doesn’t make sense, you think it doesn’t make sense a lot of people actually think that makes sense. That’s the way a lot of people feel,&#8221; Touré protested.
&#8220;That is their audience,&#8221; CNN host Abby Phillip said.
“Is that their mission? To be activists and not comedians?” Jennings pressed.
“Well, sometimes the comedian does stop telling jokes and says serious things,&#8221; Touré replied.
Jennings pushed on, adding, &#8220;During the Biden years, there was nobody who provided more comedy fodder possible than Joe Biden.&#8221;
That was enough for the rest of the panel, who all began protesting at once that Biden had been on the receiving end of plenty of criticism and mockery.

&#8220;CBS Mornings&#8221; host Gayle King had to remind House Minority Leader <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hakeem-jeffries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hakeem Jeffries</a> (D-NY) that Vice President Kamala Harris — and Democrats across the board — had lost, and lost big, in the general election held just a week earlier.
King had to interrupt and correct Jeffries, who was poised to take the gavel if control of the House of Representatives had passed into Democrats&#8217; hands, when he suggested that the race had been a close one.

Cohost Tony Doukopil suggested that Democrats had some good policies and successes, but had ultimately failed to present them in a way that resonated with the voters. He also argued that the Democratic Party&#8217;s presentation had made especially working class voters feel as though they were not really respected.
&#8220;Well, we clearly care about making life better for everyday Americans, and it drives everything that we do from a policy perspective,&#8221; Jeffreis replied. &#8220;But of course, we’ve got to figure out how we can better connect the policies that we’ve worked hard to implement under the leadership of President Biden and Vice President Harris. You know, infrastructure, fixing our crumbling bridges, roads, and tunnels, creating millions of good-paying union jobs. That’s putting people first. That was a policy that actually happened. But we have to better connect why we are doing these things and how it will lead to improving the quality of life of every American.&#8221;

&#8220;It sounds like you’re still processing, but were you stunned last Tuesday night? I’m just curious. I know lessons learned and all of that, but were you stunned by what happened?” King asked.
&#8220;Well, we knew going into the election, as Vice President Harris repeatedly stated, including at the convention, this is close and it’s going to be close —&#8221; Jeffries said.
&#8220;But it wasn’t close,&#8221; King interrupted.
&#8221; — all the way through. I think at the end of the day, the popular vote will be close. I think it was, you know, an Electoral College outcome that most people on the Democratic side didn’t expect because everything broke at the presidential level in terms of Donald Trump’s direction.&#8221;
As of Tuesday, November 12, the popular vote totals stand at 71,898,818 (48.1%) for Vice President Kamala Harris and 75,158,912 (50.3%) for Trump — a difference of more than three million votes.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ana-navarro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ana Navarro</a> argued on Tuesday that Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) was a solid choice to be President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s Secretary of State — but just a few months ago, she was singing a very different tune.
Navarro joined her cohosts on ABC&#8217;s midday talk show &#8220;The View,&#8221; where they discussed the appointments Trump has made since winning both the Electoral College and the popular vote in last Tuesday&#8217;s election. Navarro suggested that despite her opposition to Trump, Rubio was at least a choice that she could get behind.
Whoopi Goldberg opened the discussion with a clip of Rubio from the 2016 Republican primary — when the Florida senator had been campaigning against Trump for the GOP nomination — despite the fact that, in the years since, Rubio and Trump got past any differences and worked together during the first Trump administration.

&#8220;I&#8217;ve known Marco Rubio for a very long time,&#8221; Navarro said. &#8220;He and I grew up in Republican politics in Miami together &#8230; He&#8217;s changed a lot, he probably thinks I have, too. But I will say this: Marco is qualified. He&#8217;s been on foreign relations in the Senate for many years. I&#8217;m happy because he knows Latin America, which for me, is a region that&#8217;s often forgotten. He speaks Spanish, he knows who these leaders are, he knows what the issues are.&#8221;
&#8220;I think he&#8217;s gonna come in hot on places like Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua, which I care about enormously,&#8221; said Navarro, whose parents fled Nicaragua when she was young, said that the appointment had surprised her.

Just five months earlier, Navarro had previously referenced the fact that she&#8217;d known Rubio for a long time — but at the time, she was not touting his qualifications so much as she was trashing him outright.
Navarro made the comments for an <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/the-view-host-ana-navarro-warns-marco-rubio-he-knows-i-know-where-skeletons-hidden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">episode</a> of &#8220;Behind the Table&#8221; — the official podcast affiliated with &#8220;The View&#8221; — in support of her claim that he would not be Trump&#8217;s 2024 running mate.
Besides the obvious complication of both living in Florida, Navarro explained, &#8220;Marco has embarrassed himself to such a point. I mean, he&#8217;s little in stature and little in principles.&#8221;
Navarro went on to suggest he also wasn&#8217;t likely to appear as a guest on &#8220;The View&#8221; anytime soon, saying that he&#8217;d be wary of just how much she knew about him.
&#8220;Maybe if he thinks it helps his chances to get into a fight with me and the other women on ‘The View,’ he would, but he knows I know where his skeletons are hidden,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve known him since we were kids.&#8221;

The View

Several of the hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; argued on Tuesday that Americans should consider cutting family members and friends out of their traditional holiday get-togethers if they voted for President-elect Donald Trump.
Stating that it was a &#8220;moral issue,&#8221; Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg pushed the idea during the midday broadcast. The pair suggested that those people deserved to be cut out because they had voted against people they claimed to love — and Goldberg worried that they might say offensive things to any gay children who might be present.
Sara Haines kicked off the discussion, and she was opposed to the idea.
&#8220;Whatever your reason is, I would never let my politics be the reason I don&#8217;t show up to see my family because they want me to be there,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;I&#8217;m gonna disagree,&#8221; Hostin said. &#8220;I completely understand her point because I really do feel that this candidate, you know, President-elect Trump is just a different type of candidate. From the things he&#8217;s said and the things he&#8217;s done, and the things he will do, it&#8217;s more of a moral issue for me, and I think it&#8217;s more of a moral issue for other people.&#8221;

Hostin went on to claim that she would have felt differently about former President George W. Bush — who was also referred to by many on the left as &#8220;Hitler&#8221; on a regular basis — because she didn&#8217;t feel like he was as &#8220;deeply flawed&#8221; as Trump.
&#8220;Deeply flawed by character, deeply flawed in morality,&#8221; Hostin continued. &#8220;I think when people feel that someone voted not only against their families but against them, and against people that they love, I think it&#8217;s okay to take a beat.

I don&#8217;t want to put my gay child in a position where she has to sit with someone who doesn&#8217;t understand her and feels like it&#8217;s okay to just blurt all of that out. That&#8217;s just me.&#8221;
&#8220;With mixed families I feel the same way,&#8221; she added. &#8220;There are certain things where you don&#8217;t have to put your family in the middle of it. You can have dinner at another point but it might not be the time to gather because you know there&#8217;s gonna be some tension &#8230; but I&#8217;m not tense, my daughter&#8217;s not gay.&#8221;
Goldberg explained that she&#8217;d had to clear that last bit up, so she didn&#8217;t get a call from her daughter about it.

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville absolutely unloaded on his party after the news broke that Republicans had managed to retain control of a majority of seats in the House of Representatives, securing a trifecta in the 2024 general election.
In a video made for broadcast at Politicon, Carville told Democrats that they needed to account for their failures in 2024 — and explain to constituents and donors what they would do differently going forward — if they wanted to be taken seriously.

Justify what you did wrong, and tell us what you’re going to do different.&#8221;
&#8220;What you’ve done ain’t worth a s**t. Get your head around that.

&#8220;We’re going to say we told you so. We told you this identity s*** was disaster. We told you to get out in front of public safety issues. You didn’t,&#8221; he added, arguing that Democrats had been stupid to embrace the &#8220;Defund the Police&#8221; crowd.
Blasting his party for repeatedly failing to address the very real public safety concerns of the people, Carville complained that far too many had gotten sucked into identity politics and what he referred to as a &#8220;stupid Godd*** identitarian mission.&#8221;
He concluded by labeling the Democratic Party&#8217;s current phase of development as &#8220;the entire era of Jacka**ery.&#8221;

Attorney Mark Paoletta warned employees within the Justice Department that they needed to be ready to help President-elect Donald Trump implement his lawful agenda come January 20, 2025 — or they should start packing up their desks.
Paoletta, who served as General Counsel for the Office of Management and Budget during the first Trump administration, responded on Monday to a POLITICO article that suggested lawyers working within the DOJ were &#8220;terrified&#8221; of what to expect from Trump, who blames the DOJ under President Joe Biden for engaging in political prosecution.
From the <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/11/10/trump-return-justice-department-00188623">article</a>:
<blockquote>Some career attorneys at DOJ are already considering heading for the exits rather than sticking around to find out whether threats from Trump and his allies are real or campaign bluster.</blockquote>
Paoletta minced no words in his response, shared via X, explaining that Trump had been elected to implement the agenda he promised from the campaign trail and, provided his agenda was within the laws of the United States, it was the responsibility of those serving in the federal government to aid him as he did so.
Paoletta went on to list a series of agenda items on which employees within the DOJ would be expected to assist.
<ul>
<li>Securing the southern border, mass deportations of illegal aliens (beginning with rapists and murderers), surging resources to process immigration/asylum claims to clear out backlog and end widespread abuse of the asylum system, ending automatic citizenship for children of illegal aliens, and taking federal actions to prevent sanctuary cities from obstructing federal immigration enforcement.</li>
<li>Restoring law and order across our country, including rescuing our cities from mob violence and left-wing soft on crime prosecutors, Immediately stopping the lawfare and persecution of political opponents that is unprecedented in American history and destroying our democracy.</li>
<li>Granting pardons or commutations to January 6th defendants and other defendants who have been subjected to politically-driven lawfare prosecutions and sentences.</li>
<li>Abolishing DEI in government and taking action against those companies and universities that engage in racial discrimination.</li>

&#8220;These are all positions President Trump campaigned on and that career DOJ lawyers may be working on to accomplish President Trump’s lawful agenda that was approved by a landslide vote of the American People,&#8221; Paoletta continued, pointing out the fact that it was not within the job description of career DOJ employees to set the agenda moving forward, and it was their responsibility to assist in implementing the agenda of the President.

Paoletta went on to note that they would certainly be allowed to give feedback, but they should understand that the ultimate decision would not be theirs.
&#8220;Of course, no one will push them to implement flagrantly illegal actions like President Biden did with his student loan plan, where he thumbed his nose at the Supreme Court’s ruling and then tried to implement another illegal plan which was struck down,&#8221; Paoletta continued. &#8220;(In fact, the media was cheering on his law-breaking). I don’t recall reading any stories about career attorneys being concerned about working on this blatantly illegal action.&#8221;
&#8220;If these career DOJ employees won’t implement President Trump’s program in good faith, they should leave,&#8221; he concluded. &#8220;Those employees who engage in so-called &#8216;resistance&#8217; against the duly-elected President’s lawful agenda would be subverting American democracy. Finally, those that take such actions would be subject to disciplinary measures, including termination.&#8221;

Four of the 60 living recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor were presented with their awards by President-Elect Donald Trump during his first term in the White House.
The nation&#8217;s highest award for courage and valor in combat, only 3,538 have been awarded in total in the 150 years since its inception. Just under 20% of them were awarded posthumously. Nineteen of those recipients have been awarded twice.
Staff Sergeant David G. Bellavia was awarded the Medal of Honor on June 25, 2019, for actions he took on November 4, 2004, that likely saved the lives of others in his unit.
After finding insurgents in a building that they were attempting to clear, Bellavia laid down suppressive fire in order for his men to evacuate safely. Once they were all out, instead of making a quick escape, Bellavia went back into the building to take out the remaining enemy soldiers, stopping only when he was badly wounded.
Trump said during a White House ceremony that Bellavia &#8220;exemplifies the same warrior ethos that gave his grandfather and all the heroes of Normandy the strength to defeat evil exactly seventy-five years ago.&#8221;
&#8220;We don’t want war, but if you want war with the United States of America, there is one thing I can promise you, so help me God: someone else will raise your sons and daughters,&#8221; Bellavia said.

Sergeant First Class Thomas P. Payne was awarded his Medal of Honor on September 11, 2020, for his actions during a hostage rescue that took place on October 22 2015. Payne was instrumental in helping to liberate a number of hostages held in two buildings in Kirkuk Province, Iraq. He and the other members of his assault team took heavy fire as they attempted the mission, and one of the buildings was on fire by the time Payne was able to breach the main entrance. Despite the risk, Payne&#8217;s actions led to the successful rescue of 75 hostages and 20 enemies killed in action.

U.S. Navy Senior Chief Britt Kelly Slabinski, a U.S. Navy SEAL who also participated in the highly publicized rescue of Army PFC Jessica Lynch on April 1, 2003, was awarded his Medal of Honor on May 24, 2018. A member of SEAL Team 4, Slabinski was recognized for his part in a March 4, 2002, daring mountaintop rescue mission at Takur-Ghar.
&#8220;Their insertion helicopter was suddenly riddled with rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire from previously undetected enemy positions. The crippled helicopter lurched violently and ejected one teammate [Petty Officer First Class Neil Roberts] onto the mountain before the pilots were forced to crash land in the valley far below,&#8221; Slabinski&#8217;s citation reads in part.
Slabinski, along with Air Force Controller John Chapman, charged up the mountain under enemy fire to retrieve Roberts. Chapman was wounded and eventually killed in action, but Slabinski continued the mission in his absence.
&#8220;Proximity made air support impossible, and after several teammates became casualties, the situation became untenable. Senior Chief Slabinski maneuvered his team to a more defensible position, directed air strikes in very close proximity to his team’s position, and requested reinforcements,&#8221; the citation continued. &#8220;As daylight approached, accurate enemy mortar fire forced the team further down the sheer mountainside. Senior Chief Slabinski carried a seriously wounded teammate through deep snow and led a difficult trek across precipitous terrain while calling in fire on the enemy, which was engaging the team from the surrounding ridges. Throughout the next 14 hours, Senior Chief Slabinski stabilized the casualties and continued the fight against the enemy until the hill was secured and his team was extracted.&#8221;

Sergeant Matthew O. Williams received his Medal of Honor on October 30, 2019, for actions that took place on April 6, 2008.
Williams was part of an assault team sent to engage an enemy on a mountain, but the forward group came under fire and several casualties were sustained. Williams led a team of mostly local fighters across dangerous terrain and under heavy fire in order to relieve those at the front who had been pinned down on the side of the mountain.
&#8220;He then assisted with moving the wounded down the near-vertical mountainside to the casualty collection point. Noting that the collection point was about to be overrun by enemy fighters, Sergeant Williams led the Afghan commandos in a counter-attack that lasted for several hours. When helicopters arrived to evacuate the wounded, Sergeant Williams again exposed himself to enemy fire, carrying and loading casualties onto the helicopters while continuing to direct commando firepower to suppress numerous insurgent positions,&#8221; his citation read. &#8220;His actions enabled the patrol to evacuate wounded and dead comrades without further casualties. Sergeant Williams’ complete disregard for his own safety and his concern for the safety of his teammates ensured the survival of four critically wounded soldiers and prevented the lead element of the assault force from being overrun by the enemy.&#8221;

When two major hurricanes — Helene and Milton — pummeled the southeastern United States just weeks before the 2024 presidential election, there was little chance that the response to those back-to-back disasters would not become political.
Both President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris attempted to spin the situation to their party&#8217;s advantage in the days that followed. Harris claimed that, if Trump were to be elected again, he would deny aid to states that did not vote for him in the fast-approaching election.
Trump suggested that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was slow-rolling relief efforts because some of the hardest-hit areas in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee were deep red areas where he was very popular. The delayed relief, some feared, could even make it difficult for polling places in those areas to open — or for people whose lives had been turned upside-down to get to them even if they did.
As is their custom, legacy media outlets ignored the fact that Harris&#8217; claims were entirely baseless — and if the past is prologue, demonstrably false: Trump was the one to send a floating hospital to New York City during the massive COVID spikes exacerbated by New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo&#8217;s policies.

Instead, they quickly harped on Trump, saying that there was no way a supposedly non-partisan federal agency like FEMA — which only exists to help people — would ever in a million years engage in the kind of behavior he was suggesting.

But as The Daily Wire has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-fema-official-ordered-relief-workers-to-skip-houses-with-trump-signs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">since reported</a>, denying aid to Trump supporters was not only happening in some of those hurricane-ravaged areas, it was considered to be &#8220;best practice&#8221; to simply avoid going to homes where Trump signs were displayed.
From that report:
<blockquote>A FEMA supervisor told workers in a message to “avoid homes advertising Trump” as they canvassed Lake Placid, Florida to identify residents who could qualify for federal aid, internal messages viewed by The Daily Wire reveal. The supervisor, Marn’i Washington, relayed this message both verbally and in a group chat used by the relief team, multiple government employees told The Daily Wire.
The government employees told The Daily Wire that at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags were skipped from the end of October and into November due to the guidance, meaning they were not given the opportunity to qualify for FEMA assistance. Images shared with The Daily Wire show that houses were skipped over by the workers, who wrote in the government system messages such as: “Trump sign no entry per leadership.”</blockquote>
The employee responsible for giving that direction, according to the agency, has since been fired.

For those who don&#8217;t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week&#8217;s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.
By the Sunday morning after the November 5 presidential election, the media talking heads had had just under a week to formulate their opinions on what exactly had gone wrong for Vice President Kamala Harris. A number of them who&#8217;d predicted either a race that was too close to call even for days — or a blowout win for Harris — popped up on the Sunday morning political shows to say pretty much the opposite of what they&#8217;d said just a week earlier.
On ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week,&#8221; pollster Frank Luntz said that Harris had made a campaign-killing mistake when she decided to run on attacking now President-elect Donald Trump rather than the issues the American people truly cared about.
Whoever had advised her to do that, Luntz said, had &#8220;committed political malpractice.&#8221; He added, &#8220;In the end, you cannot change someone’s point of view on him. It was all about her.&#8221;

Former Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) just a week earlier had said that undecideds were almost certainly breaking hard for Harris — a prediction that failed to materialize on Election Day — and on Sunday, he argued that the Democratic Party&#8217;s monumental shift to the left had not appealed to the American people.
&#8220;The Democratic Party from 2017 through 2024 went off the deep end. I mean, the stuff they&#8217;ve been saying is just offensive to a large percentage of the American people,&#8221; he said.

She left out the fact that multiple Democrats — and even Harris herself — had been directly asked on more than one occasion his they intended to address the problem staring them in the face: voters did not believe them when they said the Biden economy was &#8220;working.&#8221;

Things went sideways on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; when former Harris communications director <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-kamala-mouthpiece-says-biden-should-resign-let-kamala-be-president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamal Simmons</a> argued during a panel discussion that Biden should step down and allow Harris the chance to be the first female president and serve out his term.
Despite the fact that Harris never won a single Democratic primary vote of her own accord — and had just lost both the Electoral College and the popular vote in Tuesday&#8217;s election — Simmons claimed that if Biden simply anointed her President of the United States, that would somehow smash through the proverbial glass ceiling and make it easier for the next woman who decided to run for president.
&#8220;Joe Biden’s been a phenomenal president, he’s lived up to so many of the promises he’s made,” Simmons claimed, and then immediately argued that the one thing Biden hadn’t done yet was provide the promised “transition” to younger leadership. “There’s one promise left that he could fulfill, being a transitional figure. He could resign the presidency in the next 30 days, make Kamala Harris president of the United States —”
“Whoa,” Republican commentator Scott Jennings hit the brakes, and host Dana Bash was also quick to respond: “Wow.”
“It would absolve her from having to oversee the January 6 transition — right? — of her own defeat. And it would make sure, it would dominate the news, at a point where Democrats have to learn drama and transparency and doing things the public want to see — this is the time, this is the moment for us to change the entire perspective of how Democrats operate,” Simmons explained.

&#8220;It would absolve her from having to oversee the January 6th transition — right? — of her own defeat. And it would make sure, it would dominate the news, at a point where Democrats have to learn drama and transparency and doing things the public want to see — this is the time, this is the moment for us to change the entire perspective of how Democrats operate,&#8221; Simmons explained.
Bash did not appear to buy Simmons&#8217; argument, however, saying, &#8220;Okay, this has now jumped from an internet meme to a Sunday morning show! Congratulations!”
“Jamal’s out here writing a season of &#8216;House of Cards!'&#8221; Jennings added.
Simmons doubled down after the show ended, sharing his thoughts in an X post in which he argued that if Biden were to step aside for Harris, it would somehow make it easier for the next woman to run for president.
&#8220;Joe Biden has been amazing but he should fulfill one last promise — to be transitional. Biden should resign and make Kamala Harris the first woman president. It’d turn tables on Trump, keep Kamala from presiding over Jan 6 make it easier for next woman to run,&#8221; he said.

Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/patricia-heaton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patricia Heaton</a> unloaded on media for fomenting fear and anxiety ahead of the 2024 presidential election and especially for targeting the most vulnerable people, many of them women, and convincing them that their lives were in literal danger when President-elect Donald Trump was declared the winner.
Heaton shared her thoughts in a video posted to X on Saturday, and in addition to calling out the media, she suggested that those who had been part of spreading the fear should &#8220;get back on the air&#8221; and tell people that the world was not really going to end.

Heaton began by noting that she&#8217;d just returned after spending a week in Israel — and that she would have much more to say about that at a later date — and she believed Trump&#8217;s election would be good for the Jewish people.
She then turned her thoughts to the wild responses she&#8217;d seen on social media after Vice President Kamala Harris lost her bid for the presidency, and she largely blamed media for convincing so many that a Trump victory would translate to physical danger for them and their families.

&#8220;I&#8217;ve also seen a lot of the response videos — especially from women who are crying, screaming, shaving their heads, saying they&#8217;re going to be jailed or rounded up or killed or hunted or whatever — ugh,&#8221; Heaton said.
&#8220;We need to pray for them. And I just want to say to all you folks who feel that way, don&#8217;t make politics or identity groups your religion!&#8221; Heaton continued. &#8220;Only Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Put your faith in Him, not in men, not in man&#8217;s institutions, not in human institutions.&#8221;
She went on to say that, while in Israel, she&#8217;d visited the sites where Hamas terrorists had assaulted, raped, tortured, and killed Israeli men, women, and children. &#8220;You&#8217;re fine here, you&#8217;re gonna be fine. Don&#8217;t worry about it.&#8221;
Heaton pivoted to address media&#8217;s role in the way things had played out, blaming pundits and talking heads for effectively targeting certain segments of the population with their doomsday rhetoric regarding Trump.
&#8220;To all these extremists that are allowed television time who told women that this is what is going to happen to them, shame on you! Shame on you!&#8221; she said. &#8220;Apparently, there are some really vulnerable people here who you targeted, and you fear-mongered to, and you need to go back on the air and tell them things are gonna be okay, tell them that they&#8217;re fine.&#8221;
&#8220;And also, stop — stop saying that people who voted differently than you are quote-unquote &#8216;uneducated.&#8217; Learn your f-ing lesson about smearing people who feel differently from you, who have different needs from you, and who have legitimate complaints. Quit dismissing them as &#8216;uneducated.&#8217; When are you going to learn?&#8221; she concluded with a heavy sigh: &#8220;All right, have a great weekend.&#8221;
